There are no yardsticks in measuring talent; neither is there a metric for determining who is more talented or whose talent outweighs the other. However, by effectively harnessing their talents and putting them to use, coupled with a certain degree of work ethics, consistency, and perseverance, some individuals remain a shining light to others because of the amount of work they have put into making their talents work for them. When it comes to talent, it is not every day that we see someone equally talented in sports and possess the ability to arouse laughter from any audience regardless of size.
